I'm Too Busy is a board game where players travel around Helsinki living their lives while trying to collaboratively open new cultural initiatives. You will have a job, go to work, attend art/culture events, and pool your resources to create new culture spaces. Along the way you might fall in love, get (or not get) public funding, become burned out, eat pizza, get caught by HSL ticket inspectors, meditate in the forest, go to karaoke bars, and/or run out of money. I'm Too Busy is a game that encourages mild role-playing behaviour. All ages are welcome, though parents should be advised that the game does contain some problematic content such as alcohol use, sexual promiscuity, and arts association board meetings.

The game was designed by the Biathlon development team as a playful way to stimulate discussion and interaction about city life, cultural ventures, organising, and possibilities. Thus, each session of the game is more like a workshop, or perhaps a therapy session. The game is still in development and has been tested in two iterations so far; this will not necessarily be the 'final' version.

At Kuusi Palaa (which is a space on the board!), we'd like to run a session of the game for 6-10 players. If the event proves popular, we are happy to run future events as the game itself changes. The game should take roughly 60-90 minutes, or possibly longer depending on how many people play.
